Did you manage to figure out the message?

When it comes to movie choices, Sonam K Ahuja‘s have only gotten better over time. While 2016 saw her transform into Neerja Bhanot, a PanAm flight attendant who died saving the lives of passengers during a hijack, 2018’s light-hearted Veere Di Wedding had her inspiring women all over the country to live their lives on their own terms. And by the looks of it, 2019 is going to include another must-watch movie from the star, with Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga‘s release.

Released just minutes ago, the trailer of Sonam K Ahuja’s next film isn’t just exciting for its cast. Full of cute dialogues, vibrant Indian wedding scenes and some very promising musical tracks (did you notice the new-age version of Anil Kapoor‘s iconic 1994 song with the same name?), the feel-good trailer also includes an important message. While the first watch may have you thinking Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga is one more rom-com about a Punjabi girl’s wedding, a replay of the two-and-a-half minute trailer will tell you an entirely different story. In case you missed it, ELKDTAL‘s trailer was released on YouTube with the hashtag #LetLoveBe, and a few key scenes in the sneak peek also hint that the movie could possibly deal with same-sex relationships, with Sonam playing a lesbian character.

Given that India is currently celebrating the decriminalisation of homosexuality and topics relating to sexual inclusivity are finally at the forefront in our country, Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga (notice the relevance of the name now?) couldn’t have come at a better time. Bonus: the movie will also, for the very first time, show Sonam K Ahuja sharing screen space with her father Anil Kapoor, and will hopefully share a glimpse at what the father-daughter duo’s bond is really like. Kapoor Ahuja shared the first poster of the movie on Anil Kapoor’s 62nd birthday, which took place on December 24. Did you miss her caption?
